“When we are born, we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.”- King Lear

“What matters is to be natural and calm In happiness and in unhappiness, To feel as if feeling were seeing, To think as if thinking were walking, And to remember, when death comes, that each day dies, And the sunset is beautiful, and so is the night that remains . . . That’s how it is and how I want it to be . . .”- Fernando Pessoa

“Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.”- Herman Melville
